Abstract

e-Learning concerns how knowledge is broadcasted and distributed. The main difference between e-Learning and a traditional educational approach is that the former features an integration of information technologies and the Internet that can compensate for the latter's weaknesses and shortcomings. Consequently, besides producing high-quality learning content, issues like improving transparency and visibility of the learning content have been attached with equal importance. This study proposes a semantic-awareness content management model, based on which a semantic-based environment that features a high interoperability of e-Learning content can be constructed, to realize the goals and values of e-Learning by effectively bridging semantic gaps in existing LCMSs.
